Keep My Heart To Myself

At times I think my heart is too big
Maybe I should shrink it;keep it well hid
Close it so it doesn't feel hurt and pain
Protect it and keep it well contained 

Cloak it in armour so it can't be touched 
Then maybe it wouldn't be used so much 
Put it up high on an unreachable shelf
Maybe I should keep my heart to myself

Yes but does help to know there are others who feel that way sometimes also. Thanks for your comment and taking the time to read my poem.
